A team of negotiators, security, and maritime experts are called in with one job to do, save the lives of the crew. Can this "A-team" of experts do so? Can they prevent a massive environmental disaster, rescue the ship, and its hundred-million dollar cargo? There are reputations to be made, or lost....
